Good things to do with Garlic Scapes

I am so excited that the garlic scapes are ready. The season is brief folks, so enjoy them while you can. Some folks at the Grainery pick up wondered how to use them. They are tasty added to stir fry or tomato sauce but don`t cook them long or they lose their glossy green colour and crunch. They really only need to be added near the end of cooking. They are delicious in potato salad (lightly cooked or raw & finely sliced). I added a bit to homemade mayo this week & used for hamburger topping. They can also be used to make pesto, alone or combined with basil.good eating!
